> This friend told me she can't work without ChatGPT anymore

I am curious what kind of work is she using ChatGPT such that she cannot do without it?

> ChatGPT released data showing that programming is just a tiny fraction of queries people do

People are using it as search engine, getting dating advice and everything under the sun. That doesn't mean there is business value - so to speak. If these people had to pay say $20 a month for this access, are they willing to do so?

The poster's point was that coding is an area which is paying consistently for LLM models so much that every model has a coding specific version. But we don't see same sort of specialized models for other areas and the adoption is low to nonexistent.

Given they said this person worked at PwC, I’m assuming it’s pointless generic consultant-slop.

Concretely it’s probably godawful slide decks.
